Client stops working frequently

Another Mac client problem. Instead of the client freezing... this time it doesn't, you can still move the camera, open windows, etc ... but nothing works the way it is suppose to work. I hotkey all types of windows, when I press P for Contracts for example, the contracts window doesn't open. You can see the icon on the neocom appearing but no window opens. This is true for all other windows, inventory, market, etc... If I'm in space then i can't move or jump, only the camera works. Also, when i quit and press yes, nothing happens.

So the only way to temporary solve this would be to hard reset it.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a solution?

It sounds like the problem I posted up about a while back. Basically the client just stops talking to the server (I went so far as to run a network analyser to confirm this diagnosis). The client continues blissfully doing what it was before, apparently unaware of the problem, and you have to restart the client to fix it.

I raised a petition and was asked to submit a bug report. Submitted the bug report and had it closed with a message to log a petition. Re-opened it pointing out that it was a GM who asked me to log the bug report - no further action taken.

My only workaround is to connect via cable (using a wireless extender hub) rather than via AirPort. I get different issues if I do that but not the 'lost connection' one.
